How to invite people to an orbit

Every orbit in Orbily has an invite code and link. Send it however your group already talks, and each person chooses how they share as they join — an invitation never shares anyone's location for them.

Step by step

  1. Open the invite screen

    It opens by itself when you create an orbit, and from Invite on the orbit's map at any time.

  2. Send the link

    Tap Messages, WhatsApp or Email, or More for any other app. The message carries the code as well as the link, so it works on any phone.

  3. Or show the QR code

    In person, let them scan the QR code on your screen.

  4. Or invite people you know

    Pick people from your other orbits, or add an email address, and they get an invitation in the app or by email.

  5. They choose how to take part

    Opening the link shows the orbit and asks how they want to share — live, on a timer or updates only — before they join.

What if they don't have Orbily yet?

The link opens a page that explains Orbily and shows the code to copy. Once they have the app, they can open the link again or enter the code to join.

Questions people ask next

No. Invite pages are never listed by search engines. Anyone with the code can join, so share it only with the people you want in the orbit.
